This is a video of my surboard 'blank' that I built from scratch. I recommend you watch the second vid before you start hatin' and bashin' the unorthodox methods used here. BTW, the final product rides great!

  • Great Lakes? Everyone knows you cant surf on a lake. ;)

  • Ha- you should search for the movie on here CALLED "everyone knows you can't surf the great lakes"

  • yeah i'm starting shaping pretty soon any tips or instructions... i'm an amateur and i think i'll suck at this. i'm only good with the graphics

    thanks:)

  • shaping was quite easy, but it took a while cuz I did it all by hand using hand planers and sanding blocks...no power planer! Don't worry - you'll have a blast doing your first one - i did!

  • nice vid, what is the name of glue you used? i need a good glue for eps foam. thanks.

  • I used SOLVENT-FREE contact cement, and 2 tubes of Dollar-Store-Brand 5 Minute epoxy.

    I had more success with the latter; it worked beautifully.

see all

  • cut the foam in half make two cutouts of the board with the halfs get very thin ply wood (I'd use balsa because its better) cut it exactly like the foam then sandwich the board between the two pieces of foam seal with epoxy or fiberglass do the planing sanding rails and paint then fiberglass a couple of times that's how I learned to make boards

  • wow you can get that material from home depot, and it supports your weight? why buy a 400$ board when you can make one

  • when do i put the fins on?

  • hi guys where can i get a foam so thick?

  • What kind of glue did you use to glue the two foam blanks together? Also, I don't understand how you made the rocker. You bent the foam and then glued it? How did you glue it? Lastly, can styrofoam be shaped with sandpaper?

  • @jerdaskater12 The fall is better than the winter, late summer and early spring also get good. People just think you can only surf during the winter because its the "craziest" time to go(not really tho thanks to ripcurl) and receives the most coverage from media and such

  • @nickscrps yeah u can but only in winter witch is gay

  • hey when you bought EPS blank was it a partially preshaped.

  • hey, where did you get a $30 blank from?

  • you're a kook!
